Now Accepting Applications — Limited Spots

Stop wasting your talent at a job that wouldn't notice if you left.

I'm Aaron. Hamza and I built MTRX Media from nothing to one of the fastest-growing creative agencies in the DTC space in under two years. Now we're scaling so fast we can't hire quick enough — so we built MTRX Academy. A paid, 6-month programme where you work alongside us on real campaigns for real brands, learning AI-powered ad creation from the inside.

You get paid from day one.

Sound Familiar?

It's Sunday night. You can already feel it.

That knot in your stomach. The dread creeping in. Tomorrow is Monday, and Monday means going back to a place that doesn't see you, doesn't value you, and doesn't care if you were there or not.

The Sunday Scaries are real.

That anxiety hits before the weekend is even over. Monday's meeting where your boss tears apart your week. The project dumped on your desk at 5pm Friday with "needs to be done by Monday." And when something goes wrong, it's your fault — even when nobody told you it was your responsibility.

Three jobs. Half a salary.

Someone left, nobody replaced them, and their work quietly became yours. Your workload tripled. Your pay didn't move. When you raised it, you were told to "be grateful in this market." Meanwhile your boss just bought a new car.

Your time off isn't yours.

Two weeks booked off. By day three, the texts start. "Quick one — can you draft this email?" Then another. Then another. A constant drip that says the quiet part out loud: your boundaries don't matter. You're a resource, not a person.

200 applications. Zero replies.

Cost of living through the roof. Every role wants five years of experience for entry-level pay. You're competing with 500 people for every opening. And you're starting to wonder if this is just... it.

You know you're capable of more.

You watch people online building things, creating from anywhere, working with people they actually respect — and you wonder why that can't be you. You don't need to start a business. You just want to work alongside people who are actually doing something. People who push you because they believe in you — not because they're trying to squeeze you dry.

Everyone's panicking about the job market. I'm hiring.

Go on LinkedIn right now. "Why is getting a job in 2026 feeling 10 times harder?" "Anyone else genuinely worried about long-term prospects?" That's the world outside. Inside MTRX? New clients landing every week, bigger than the last. A team that's growing, not shrinking. People who joined with nothing and now earn more than they ever thought possible. While everyone else is worrying about the economy — I don't even see it. And right now, I'm opening the door for you to walk in.

Why I Built This

Most people are burnt out.
My team can't stop working.

That's not because I force them. It's because when people actually care about what they do, when they're respected, paid properly, and challenged by work that matters — burnout disappears. I've hired people who came to me completely fried from other agencies. People whose bosses texted them on holiday. People doing senior workloads on junior pay. They joined MTRX and something clicked — because the environment changed, not the work ethic.

Hamza and I spent two years making less than £2,000 a month building this. No VC. No investors. No safety net. We were the young ones once. Nobody handed us anything. That's exactly why we can hand something to you now.

Don't take my word for it. Look at the proof.

Real people. Real transformations. Before they joined and where they are now.

Marzook

Senior Creative Strategist

Before MTRX

Full-time engineering role for 5+ years in Canada. Stable career, but no creative fulfilment. Found us on Twitter.

Now

One of the first hires, Jan 2024. Video editor → senior editor → ops manager → Senior Creative Strategist. Salary matched within 6 months. Now makes 3x what he earned before and lives in Dubai.

Cam

AI Scriptwriter & Team Lead

Before AI

Qualified accountant for 5+ years. Was about to open his own accountancy firm. I brought him on to run our TikTok Shop offer — it didn't work out. His role became obsolete. He was getting paid but we weren't making money. Most people would've left.

Now

When the AI offer launched, I gave him a shot to pivot. He'd never written a single script in his life. Never been in the creative industry. Now he writes 20-30 scripts a week for multiple brands, reviews all the video output, and manages a team of 15-20 people. Salary doubled in months. He's the definition of a dog — works stupid hours without anyone telling him to because he wants to be part of what we're building. This is what the Academy is designed to create.

Corinne

Academy Member #1 — AI Creative Strategist

Before MTRX

Personal trainer running her own business. Had a marketing degree from 2018 but never used it. Felt like she'd maxed out her current path and wanted to go full force in a new direction. Reached out to me.

Day 1

Had a call with me and Hamza. We said "we'll send the contract tonight, you can start tomorrow." When I asked how much time she could commit, she said: "I'm willing to do 10, 12-hour days. Full time and a half." The first ever MTRX Academy member. Her journey starts now.

Your Name Here

Academy Member #2, #3, #4...

Right Now

Burnt out at a job that doesn't see you. Scrolling this page at 11pm wondering if it's real.

Two Weeks From Now

Writing scripts for real brands. Getting direct feedback from me and Hamza. Proving yourself. If you're good enough, I'll know within two weeks — and you'll be offered a permanent role.

This Is What MTRX Actually Looks Like

Not corporate values on a wall.
Real people. Real messages. Real energy.

These aren't staged. These are actual moments from our Slack, our calls, our daily life. This is the team you'd be joining.

John

Senior Video Editor

DMs at midnight: "I don't want to have anything pending on Monday." I send him one UGC and he asks for more. I tell him "do you want to sleep?" He replies "later, boss." Nobody asked him to do this. This is just who he is.

Kenzo

Senior Video Editor

Lost electricity at home. Instead of making excuses, he borrowed a teammate's laptop and kept working. Didn't want to miss his deadlines. Didn't want to let the team down. Now he's one of our best editors and gets shouted out constantly for his AI work. Fixed mindset says "I can't work." Kenzo says "who's got a spare laptop?"

Holly

Head of Talent & Production

On set, she's not just producing — she's moving sofas, hanging curtains, bringing flowers, doing hair for talent. Whatever the brief needs, she makes it happen. She worked on Netflix productions before this. Chose MTRX. The team voted her Person of the Week because "she teaches me something new literally every single day."

Katia Z

Head of Talent

Runs the company-wide sync every week. Grew up through the Great Recession and war in Lebanon. When her dad calls worried about the economy, she tells him "Dad, we're smart people. We've got this." Joined Aug 2024 and became the heartbeat of the entire team. Her philosophy: "Gratitude is the ultimate state of receivership."

This is what happens when you put hungry, talented people in an environment that actually respects them. They don't burn out. They catch fire. I built that environment. Now I'm opening it up to you.

What I Look For

Straight from me and Hamza. No filter.

I asked Hamza what separates the people who thrive here from the ones who wash out in a week. Here's the unfiltered truth. If this sounds like you, apply. If it doesn't, save yourself the time.

Check your ego at the door. Feedback here is direct. If I tell you a script isn't good enough, don't defend it — fix it. The best people I've worked with absorb feedback and apply it not just in the moment, but to everything they do after. I don't want to tell you the same thing twice.

Think, don't just "do." Nine times out of ten, the answer is right there. You just have to ask yourself the right questions. I want people with common sense who can solve problems without a 30-minute meeting about it.

Live it, eat it, breathe it. The best creative strategists I've ever seen absorb everything. They watch ads in their spare time. They follow the right people on Twitter. They track every single mistake in a sheet — like tracking workouts in the gym. The first six months is where your foundations are built. If you're not obsessed with getting better, you'll get left behind.

This is 100% or nothing. 5,000 ads a month. That's my pace. No side jobs, no split attention. When I asked our first Academy member how much time she could give, she said: "10 to 12-hour days. Full time and a half." That's the standard.

If you read all of that and felt excited, you're exactly who I'm looking for. If it made you uncomfortable — that's your answer.

How I Back It Up

I don't just say I value my team. I pay like it.

Most agencies talk about "culture" and "growth." Then they pay you the same salary for two years and call it competitive. Here's what actually happens at MTRX:

$400

Every single week

Two people win Person of the Week — $200 each. It's not chosen by me or Hamza. The team picks it. Your peers decide who gets recognised. That's $1,600/month in bonuses before anything else.

$200

Per winning ad. Per person.

Every person involved in a winning ad gets $200. The scriptwriter, the editor, the producer — everyone. If there's 50 winning ads in a month, that's $10,000+ going to the team in bonuses alone. Performance gets rewarded. Full stop.

Most people double their salary

I review salaries every quarter — every six months at the absolute latest. I track completion rates weekly: 12 scripts for strategists, 6 concepts for editors. If you're hitting your numbers and growing, your pay grows with you. Every single person who's been here a year or more has seen at least a 50% increase. Most have doubled.

This applies to Academy members too. You start paid, and if you perform, you progress fast. I don't keep people on the same wage while they're producing more value. That's the whole point.

How MTRX Academy Was Born

I didn't plan this. The demand made it inevitable.

2024

Hamza and I launched MTRX Media. No funding, no safety net. Just an obsession with making ads that actually perform for DTC ecommerce brands. We started producing creative for brands spending serious money on paid social — and the results spoke for themselves.

2025

The agency scaled beyond anything we imagined. Completely bootstrapped. Grew to 40+ people across four creative pods, producing over 5,000 ads every single month. Brands like Primal Queen, The Essence Vault, Thomson Carter, and 15+ more trusted us with their creative. What usually takes companies 5–10 years, we did in under two.

Sept 2025

I launched an AI-powered creative offer. A faster, more affordable way to produce high-performing ad creatives using AI tools most agencies haven't even heard of yet. It started as an experiment. Within months, it was heading toward £100K months on its own.

Early 2026

People started reaching out. Dozens of DMs, every week, all saying the same thing: "I hate my job. I want to do something that matters. How do I get involved?" At the same time, the AI offer was scaling faster than I could hire for. Demand was outpacing capacity. I was turning away business.

Now

MTRX Academy is the answer. I realised I could do something most agencies can't — bring in raw, hungry, untapped talent and train them on real campaigns with real budgets. Not a course you pay for. A paid programme where you earn while you learn. I did it once from zero. Now I'm doing it again — and this time, I'm bringing people with me.

Your Weapon

I'll give you a skillset that makes a "normal" job impossible to go back to.

You'll be worth too much to work a 9-5 ever again. Everything here comes from real campaigns with real budgets — not tutorials, not theory. You'll master:

⚡

AI Ad Creation

The skill 99% of agencies are too slow to learn. You'll master AI tools to produce ad creatives at a speed and quality most teams can't touch. This is the future of creative — and you'll be fluent in it.

✍️

Psychological Scriptwriting

Hooks that stop the scroll. Scripts that sell. UGC scripts, podcast-style ads, direct response copy — the frameworks behind real revenue. You'll learn why people buy, not just what to write.

🎬

Performance Editing

Not just "pretty" videos — edits that hold attention and drive sales. Pacing, transitions, sound design — all built specifically for paid social platforms where every second counts.

📊

Creative Strategy

Understanding why ads win. Looking at the numbers and knowing exactly what to change. Spot winning angles, iterate based on real performance metrics, and think like a strategist — not just a creative.

🎥

UGC & Creator Management

Brief creators, manage production, handle revisions. The full pipeline from concept to delivered asset, working with real talent on real campaigns.

🧠

Client & Brand Work

Present work, handle feedback, communicate with brands spending serious money. The professional skills that separate people who get hired from people who don't.

Your Path

The 6-month gauntlet. Here's exactly how it works.

Apply & Get Selected

Week 0

You apply. I read every single application personally. If yours stands out, I'll get on a call with you within 48 hours. You could have a contract by the end of the week. I move fast — because the right people don't need 3 rounds of interviews. I'm looking for a reason to say yes, not a reason to say no.

Onboarding & First Brief

Weeks 1–2

One week of intensive onboarding. Then you're writing for real brands. Direct feedback from me and Hamza on everything you produce. You'll also record a 60-second video introducing yourself and your first piece of work. I'll know if you're built for this within the first two weeks.

Live Work & Growth

Months 1–5

You'll work harder than you ever have, and you'll learn more in 6 months than most people learn in 4 years of university. Live campaigns, real budgets, direct feedback from the founders. Every single day.

Graduate & Level Up

Month 6

You either join MTRX full-time, lead an AI pod, or I refer you to our network with a personal stamp of approval. Either way — you leave with a skillset that makes a normal job impossible to go back to.

What Happens After

This doesn't end with a certificate and a "good luck."

Every path leads somewhere real. No dead ends.

🚀

Leave with a portfolio, real skills, and a personal referral from me. I'll connect you with brands and agencies in our network. You won't be starting from zero.

Yes — you get paid. From day one.

I pay my Academy members. This isn't one of those "internships" that expects you to work for exposure and a LinkedIn endorsement. I don't do exposure. If you're good enough to do real work, you're good enough to be paid for it. Full details shared with selected applicants.
